Egyptian actress Zizi
Mustafa, who has returned to the acting world after 20 years, revealed that the
reason she took off her ‘hijab’(female Islamic headdress) is due to a scalp
disease. Zizi denied rumors that her daughter Egyptian actress Mina Shalabi
forced her to take off her ‘hijab’and also denied that she stopped wearing it
to return to acting.

According to the
internet website MBC.net, Zizi said that wearing a ‘hijab’ is a matter between
her and God, and no one has the right to judge her. She also said that recently
she began losing her hair and when she consulted a specialist she was told that
wearing a ‘hijab’ was one of the main causes for her hair loss.

Zizi said that her
daughter was shocked, but was convinced it was the right choice not to wear a
‘hijab’ due to medical reasons.

“I do not fear
negative criticism for taking off my ‘hijab’,” said Zizi, and when she made the
decision to wear it she was fully convinced, and the same applied when she
stopped.

Zizi denied that her
return to the acting world is due to financial reasons and that her love of
acting is the only motive for her return.
